Steps
Blend the cottage cheese for the dough until smooth. Measure the self-rising flour, kosher salt, and monkfruit sweetener, keeping the additional flour available for rolling and texture adjustments.
Combine the self-rising flour, blended cottage cheese, kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon monkfruit sweetener. Mix until a dough ball forms. If the dough is too sticky or dry, adjust it with a little more flour or cottage cheese; the exact amount may vary with the climate.
Divide the dough into 25 small, roughly equal pieces. Roll each piece between your hands into a small ball.
In a small bowl, combine the 5 teaspoons monkfruit sweetener and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Dredge each dough ball in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture, coating it on all sides.
Line a mini sheet pan and lightly oil it. Arrange the coated dough balls on the pan in a single layer with a little space between them.
Air-fry the dough balls for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden. The source does not specify an air-fryer temperature; use the temperature recommended by your appliance for baking small dough pieces and check them near the 10-minute mark.
While the monkey bread cooks, blend the frosting cottage cheese until smooth. Stir it together with 2 teaspoons monkfruit sweetener, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder until creamy.
Top the warm monkey bread balls with the frosting. Serve warm and enjoy.
